Children attending Reception class during the academic year 2020/2021 at participating schools in the Greater London area, England, UK
1. Where a child does not participate in Reception year phonics teaching
2. Where teaching staff or parents/guardians believe that a child's participation in the assessment will cause unnecessary distress or unsuitable data, e.g. where a child is diagnosed with a learning difficulty which means that the tasks in the assessment are unsuitable for their current level of learning
3. Where a parent has requested to withdraw their child's data from the trial. The child will still receive the same intervention/control phonics teaching as those participating in the study but their data will not be collected through assessment or will be excluded where an assessment has already taken place
